How many mealworms?

[confused]

I've been feeding my gecko five mealworms a day, but he still seems hungry. Should I feed more or is there a risk of impaction? (he's a juvie btw)

Feed them till they are full as juvies. If they "overeat" they will throw up one time...then they have learned what "full" feels like. Make sure they don't get obese if they continue to eat more and more and more as they grow older.

I was feeding my juvies 10-15 of the small crickets. Then 9-12 of the medium crickets.

Five mealworms a day is not much for a very young growing leo. I would give him more per day. How old is he?
